Rochester NY: Jine's

My University of Rochester colleagues started our day with breakfast at Jine's. The neighborhood is very pretty; the restaurant has a lot of windows, which is particularly welcome in the morning.

I went for the buckwheat pancakes with strawberries, plus an egg on the side. Buckwheat pancakes are something you don't see every day. Their flavor is a little hard to describe---very distinct from white flour or whole wheat. The pancakes were thick and fluffy, just right. The strawberries were very fresh.
